Hi 440-4!

I am a freelance writer for a number of publications so I make the effort to contact senior management of dozens of junior mining companies, and have the opportunity to tour quite a few good projects.  I do not have a background in geology but I have been able to pick up a general working knowledge from my discussions with project geos and from my own research.  The concepts are pretty straightforward as long as you are not afraid to ask a lot of questions.

I retired from a full time job nearly 2 years ago.

cheers!
